Satish Dhawan – Scientist, Teacher, Leader: An Interview with Roddam Narasimha

Roddam Narasimha – the DST Year-of-Science Professor at the Engineering Mechanics Unit, Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research, Bangalore – was one of Satish Dhawan's earliest and most distinguished students. In this interview, he shares his memories of his teacher and mentor: how Dhawan influenced him in choosing a research career in fluid dynamics and how Dhawan's personal qualities enabled him to transform IISc – of which he was the longest-serving director – and ISRO.

This interview was produced by the Archives and Publications Cell, IISc, on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the Department of Aerospace Engineering.
